  1. I hope you are right about the wave. Although they did give up the Infinity war product so who knows.
  2. I'm on your boat! I have rarely ever been able to get ahead of the game and every time I go to Luke's store I spend hours and I don't think I have ever spent less than 50 bucks at a time. LOL
  3. Those ranges seem accurate. It really a depressing time for the toy industry.
  4. Exactly. Amazon could even buy it and use it as a distribution point. It’s pretty much up in the air. It is definitely an end to an era.
  5. I picture Menegrie is plotting and scheming as to how to get them all.
  6. Amen. This is impacting a lot of people in various ways including Mattel/Hasbro even American Girl Doll. 33k people are losing their jobs directly and thousands more will be losing them indirectly (I.e. companies that work with TRU) one of my friends for example works at Netflix and was told their job was on the line because they deal with toy line associated properties.
  7. Maybe that’s my reaction.. I dislike Yelena a lot.
  8. I remember it I just think it’s a bad choice from a hair and makeup standpoint. She is a gorgeous woman when blonde how does she “blend” in? Aso it’s Scarlet’s “natural” look so I don’t think it’s that great or Widow.
  9. For me I just can’t reconcile Willow as a blonde! I know that’s how she is in the movie but every time I see her I cringe. Where was hair and makeup to talk her out of it?
  10. It can be frustrating but from their perspective they are in a tough position. They have to pick characters and * hope * they are hits based off of limited information. In the instance you sighted yeah Civilian Vision isn’t that sexy on his own but at the time they knew that Viz and Wanda are a popular pairing, he has an infinity stone, he didn’t change his costume. Let’s pair him with Wanda (a focal point and lead of this movie who has a new costume) and let’s sell it at SDCC to leverage that shipper audience. It didn’t work, but based off of what they had it should have worked. By that token Alpha Flight should have worked but didn’t. The TRU Okoye and Nakia shouldn’t have done well but anecdotally they have been. But again I don’t have sales data sooo... Usually my pet hate is the licenses that DST doesn’t have only because I love mates and want more.
  11. Ok at this point whom I see as long shots are The Inhumans. Without a TVshow or a comic book line this is just pretty done at this point. I am gutted because I love them and would love to see the full family represented in a toyline.At the bare minimum Crystal since we have all her husbands and her dog made but bygones. I hate to call it but giving how Alpha Flight did. I would not expect to see Gen X ever. Nor Great Lakes Avengers I am getting concerned that too much time has passed for us to get a completed X-Force in these costumes: Or "New Mutants in these costumes: Lastly I am not seeing a path toward big X-Men events or teams of the past like this: Also... RIP DC Mininmates I stan for you always.
  12. Should we add TRU wave 26 to this?
  13. This is so disheartening. Always so sad to see a brand like this go dark.
  14. Well, from what I have seen AIW has scenes in WAKANDA sooooo hopefully
  15. Look, I just want more BP minimates! The Dora Milaje are amazing and wish we could get more alternate heads. Also would have loved having a Jabari Warrior (with alternate heads). Pairing these characters for when the DVD's come out sounds amazing. I keep thinking of Star Wars Episode 4. Those movies have been out for years and we constantly see them releasing figures. I hope that BP is the same way!
  16. Just for fun, here's my modification for a Graduation day Magik.
  17. LOL sadly not. I don't have steady hands so I avoid anything that involves a lot of painting or cutting. The most painting I have sever done was my crystal mini custom and that took a few tries and a lot of Novas.
  18. Guys I hate to be that guy, but in my experience in dealing with situations like this there is literally nothing they can do and more importantly nothing they can say about the matter until it is resolved internally between DST, Walgreens, and Marvel. It sucks but let's try not to put them in an even worse position. The mates are out there. We all want them but unless a Walgreens manager is willing to break the rules we aren't getting them until the embargo is over. As a side bar, these situations can also get very petty very quickly so if you do manage to get the mates do the store a favour and don't identify which store it was or the employee that helped you because depending on how Walgreens wants to treat this you could be putting someone's job on the line.
  19. I have never seen this before! It looks so great!
